So my husband has his claming license. I just figured I'd try one in tank ill take a picture of the rest of them
Hmmm, it seems to be some non-photosynthetic clam (do you know which species?), unlike most clams offered in the trade. Generally, these feed off of phytoplankton, which tends to be scarce in reef tanks and needs to be regularly dosed for bivalves and similar filter feeders (speaking of which, what are you feeding your feather dusters?). Additionally, it seems to be a coldwater species (though perhaps its habitat range extends into the tropics), so it might not last under tropical temperatures. Finally, I would be wary of your starfish, since it might consume the clam.Here is the rest of the tank. Sorry im kinda a Is adventurous and after watching it thrive and I feed it the same as I feed my feather dusters so who knows maybe I'll live maybe it won't either way it was gonna be eaten
